Its really not a food additive. When they steam process starchy foods like corn or potatoes for canning or freezing, some acrylomides are formed just by the temperature
. You can choose only to eat fresh veggies or starchies or , (I looked up in my environmnetal chemicals desk reference , ) That acrylomide can be aerobically broken down to short chain aliphatic and some nitrites and nitrates (so take yer pick)
We eat way too much processed foods anyway.

I agree with farmerman, acrylamide is not an additive, it has formed naturally for as long as people have been cooking with fire! It forms in starches, asparagus, it's even in coffee - really nothing to worry about imo.
